Hi Guys, sorry if this has been covered before, but couldn't find the answer. Whilst I would love to buy the custom Hobie PA 12 trailer, I'm looking to get something that can serve as a muti use trailer - Maybe a box type. I know the craddles need mounting approx 67" apart, but I'm curious what the overhang length would be at the front on the trailer. ie distance from front craddle to tip of Kayak ? I want to make sure I get a trailer big enough so the nose of the PA is not bashing into the back of my car !

I have 13" wheels and new tires on my trailer. The larger the tire equals the less revolutions it makes which equals less heat build up over long distances, a better ride for your yak (less jarring bounces), and of course bearings, bearings, bearings!! Invest $12 in Bearing Buddies. Great investment for any trailer. You can see my trailer on my PIC HEAVY!!!! post.

That may be what I do ultimately, Mr. G. I'm really hoping to hear reviews from a few folks that used this trailer on a regular basis. Matt seems to have done well so maybe I worry for nothing. Nothing quite like blowing a tire miles from home.
